Exactly. And that's why the big companies want to get rid of net neutrality. They can spend a little money, to control your surfing habits.

I agree with you. Getting rid of the law REQUIRING IT, is a step backwards. But then, those with the money, get to make the rules.

 

We're close (relatively speaking)... I was quarried in '63.

And as for the young'ns with straight pipes, have at it... just not in my neighborhood after 10pm.

 

Straight piped, and I'm the same year as my truck.

 

I picked up an issue of diesel power because they were doing a comparison of the new 1\2 ton diesel ram and the Cummins. The used a 4wd crew cab for both trucks. The Eco had 3.55 gears, Cummins with 3.42. The ecodiesel got 28.5 mpg at 75mph, the Cummins got just under 20. They also did a towing test, with a 7k lb trailer and the Eco got 19.5 mpg while towing. Personally, I thought that was pretty impressive. What I didn't find impressive was the fact that 7k pounds is actually over the tow capacity for the truck, it was only rated for 6700.

Dyno numbers at the wheel: 325 ftlb @ about 3150rpm, 202hp @ about 3500. Cummins: 657@ 2350, 319hp @ 2700. Testing was done at sea level with 15% load applied.

 

Mine's pretty loud but straighpipeless.

 

Mine sounds pretty bad right now with two massive exhaust leaks where the pipes bend above the axle

 

nice mileage on the eco.

probably make 35mpg in my S10 with that motor!

 

Truck looks stupid with the spare on:

 

got the sidewall huh? time for new tires!

 

I would love to put one on my Rango too

I am curious what the hemi in the same configuration gets. Everyone was knocking the eco because it wasn't going to be worth the extra cost. I consider a Hemi getting 20 on the highway good, and even so the Eco would put it to shame mileage wise.
